    I was a bit skeptical before purchasing this item due to the hefty price tag, but now that I have it and have used it for a few months I love it. It was worth every penny. It’s fast, easy to catch on to, and just an all around great laptop.

    My wife uses Macs and needed a new laptop when her old Macbook Pro started slowing down. Since we didn't need a ton of storage and she is not a heavy gamer or video editor, the Macbook Air was a great option.

    This is my 3rd Mac. One was the 11 inch and one was the 13. I got used to using the 11 but now that I'm back to the 13 its great. I can tell this is much faster and getting a laptop with a much fresher battery is so great.

    It’s fast, it’s light, it gets the job done. Coming from using a 7 year old hp laptop this is a huge upgrade. I’m using it for school and I’ve yet to find a hiccup from it. It’s a great machine

    Had to replace in 11 days

    After purchasing the 2017 MacBook Air, it froze on me and wouldn’t do anything else. I had only had it for 11 days and this happened the day of me opening it during set up. I had to replace for a new one and it’s working fine. This one has also frozen but was fixed upon reset. Both MacBooks were brand new in the box so I believe this is common with this particular model. Google searching suggests this as well. Otherwise, great laptop! It’s fast and convenient .

    The MacBook Air is a delight. Easy to set up. Fast as can be. Light. And holds a charge for a long period. I like how easy it is to use. So Apple! Just love it. Best Buy had it for a great price too. Knowledgeable about the features too.

    I got it on sale. It was a good computer choice for the price (however make sure you check around, I did find a better computer for the same price at Costco - already went too far to come take it back) but can’t go wrong with apples!

    The MacBook has a reliable performance at a very attractive price. Has a clear, crisp retina display and nice extras like split screen. Springy and responsive with improved WiFi signal detection. Battery life is a big plus.

    I dropped this multiple times and it still works. Very easy to use. Don’t like the file system. It’s more confusing than a PC. Every other function is easy and convenient. Sync great with other apple products.

    In general I think Apple products are overpriced but they do last a long time. I was able to get a great student deal on this basic model and so far have been very happy with it. I really like the long battery life and the small design.

    I bought this for my daughter for Nursing School. It is so convenient to carry in a back pack as it is fairly small and lightweight. She loves it as much now as she did 2 years ago when I gave it to her.

    Upgraded from a MacBook to the new MacBook Air. Not only is it lighter, but the new processor is SO much faster. Apple continues to improve its portable computers & the new MacBook Air has to be one of the best computers on the market!

    This Macbook Air is very capable and is well suited for my needs. It's not my power house Mac, I have a Pro for that. It's my travel Mac, where I run light applications, mostly photoshop and sublime text. It handles all that I throw at it.

    We are Apple people and have many Apple devices, so it’s a no-brainer that the Macbook Air is the perfect addition to our home. It’s lightweight, yet the screen size is perfect and we know it will last for years to come.
